I have a zero tolerance for wife or any type of abusers. &lt;br /&gt;This is a poem reflecting what women go through in abusive relationships in that it is hard to leave and hard to stay.  External forces sometimes control the victim’s choices and for each victim the external forces can be different.  Noteworthy to mention, only the abused and tormented can speak to this; only they know; therefore, this poem is fictional.  It speaks to the psychological torment and fear, which forces some to stay, while still fearing leaving the abuser and living alone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three Words Never Spoken&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your saber tooth sharp as knife&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is what keeps me by your side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your ruthless regard for others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lack of empathy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makes me blind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When others can see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are quite scary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meaningless revenge in your heart - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Displaced anger&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I wished you could forget your past&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, if only I could part&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But scared I am towards your &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No more do I want that slap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cannot bear feeling your touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never the words&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love so much&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will be spoken by me,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not just to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to all my future&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abusers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I'm tired of going out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With losers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because once in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its hard to get out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spun in your web of deceit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You pull out your best intrigue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never do we see it coming. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we find ourselves in a mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A surprise trait you reveal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it's too late&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For people like me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To change our mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't want to leave&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cause we've been convinced &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one else will take us in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mission accomplished,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We no longer believe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And cannot see a way out,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there'll be a day - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait and see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when I gain the courage,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a day when I muster up the strength&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to be at my best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men like you are everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now know your untruths&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when compared&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A single life to pursue&lt;br

slap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll have a surprise trait revealed;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll apologize to not just me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may have larger hands&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More strength and a man - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I got a gun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So ----you! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Media's untruths will only continue until we use critical thinking and analyze our media data. &lt;br /&gt;By Donny C Davied  | Published 5/1/2009  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, go to this site: www.associatedcontent.com/article/1667455/media_and_race_covert_and_overt_messages.html/  This is an in-depth editorial opinion examining the difference between today and yesterday media coverage concerning racial inequality especially in wake of our new President.  It dissects overt and covert journalistic reporting attitudes and tactics.  There will always be some form of media stereotypical coverage; what this piece uncovers is the dangers of one method versus the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to leave me a

type='text'>I Am Tired  Its a Crazy World</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I Am Tired&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I witness a loved one’s time robbed.&lt;br /&gt;I see them stripped from their prime. &lt;br /&gt;I think the curse I have endured for too long.&lt;br /&gt;I feel the weight&lt;br /&gt;I have carried too many times.&lt;br /&gt;I am of the youngest siblings still alive, yet&lt;br /&gt;I am aware while this occurrence continues to slip by&lt;br /&gt;I am given no notice.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Yet&lt;/strong&gt;I do not tell anyone&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could trade places.&lt;br /&gt;I fear they would take that out of context.&lt;br /&gt;I thus stay remained in this box where &lt;br /&gt;I experience guilt and torment.&lt;br /&gt;I am angry with the man of cloth.&lt;br /&gt;I saw him come in to my house to take a precious human life. &lt;br /&gt;I wonder why he expects me to believe in him when he knows &lt;br /&gt;I have heard his spin.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Nonetheless&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was told there is a rhyme a reason.&lt;br /&gt;I asked him to explain.&lt;br /&gt;I tell him one loss is too many.&lt;br /&gt;I then suggested why not take me instead, &lt;br /&gt;I do not deserve living.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;In addition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only take people for granted.&lt;br /&gt;I reminded him &lt;br /&gt;I have far less to live for.&lt;br /&gt;I will not be missed.  This is because&lt;br /&gt;I am a piece of----&lt;br /&gt;I suggest he took the wrong one.&lt;br /&gt;I have only sin to offer.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;So&lt;/strong&gt;“Go ahead, ask my sis”, I told him, but&lt;br /&gt;I doubt he even listened.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I recollect such events.&lt;br /&gt;I am up with them sunrise to sunset; &lt;br /&gt;I am sometimes awake dawn to dusk so little sleep I do get.&lt;br /&gt;I try to sleep but dreams consume me.&lt;br /&gt;I can only think about death and loss.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;So&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I return to thoughts-&lt;br /&gt;I have rage against God&lt;br /&gt;I still have anger towards the victim, but&lt;br /&gt;I am not allowed to forgive. &lt;br /&gt;I therefore, cannot forget.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;strong&gt; Yet &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am left with this damn nightly, dread – how unfair.&lt;br /&gt;I pray for a chance to rid all my regrets.&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to join the land of the living &lt;br /&gt;I then could leave the thoughts of the dead.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Hence &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found&lt;br /&gt;I am forced for now to face my own demons.&lt;br /&gt;I cannot ignore them.&lt;br /&gt;I see them putting a toll on my present.&lt;br /&gt;I consequently, stay in the past. &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Accordingly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only share this experience with a select few. &lt;br /&gt;I speak only to ones that know what &lt;br /&gt;I am going through. &lt;br /&gt;I found that only those people would appreciate and concur. &lt;br /&gt;I am certain they would have similar feelings and pain hard to ignore.&lt;br /&gt;I know this because they are the ones left &lt;br /&gt;I, they are left to pick up the pieces&lt;br /&gt;I, they go through this every time a loved one leaves us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Thus &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I on whim one day thought what if I dialed Him – God&lt;br /&gt;I contemplated would He have an answer or a thought.&lt;br /&gt;I wondered would He continue his onslaught.&lt;br /&gt;I speculated what He would say, yet,&lt;br /&gt;I then got scared what if He talked back &lt;br /&gt;I feared what this would mean. &lt;br /&gt;I mused would he suggest through rationale &lt;br /&gt;I should change my thoughts and hidden immoral acts&lt;br /&gt;I knew if he did I would say kiss my---&lt;br /&gt;I then heard Him speak, “How one leaves us is not important”.&lt;br /&gt;I said OK.&lt;br /&gt;I then listened as He said “grasp their absence”. &lt;br /&gt;I was told to acknowledge this new reality.&lt;br /&gt;I then heard him admit his wrath as he hinted remorse would settle in eventually.&lt;br /&gt;I was ordered not to take a life I did not own [as if he cared].  &lt;br /&gt;I was reassured that the grief stages; well, there is no norm. &lt;br /&gt;I was not surprised when He uttered the words what I had was not an illness awaiting a cure. &lt;br /&gt;I learned it might be years before this is all over.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Conversely&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now would like to help those few.&lt;br /&gt;I have something to say for the people who wish to exonerate.&lt;br /&gt;I will first tell them to get rid of all toxic thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;I will empathize how difficult it is if one does not know how. &lt;br /&gt;I will insist to handle the grief, stay on top.&lt;br /&gt;I will propose when the news of a loved ones passing reaches us  &lt;br /&gt;I at first also felt weak.&lt;br /&gt;I got tired &lt;br /&gt;I was not strong,&lt;br /&gt;I noticed others were wired&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;But &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not belong.&lt;br /&gt;I thought the others were wired because they had others to look after.&lt;br /&gt;I did validate all reactions belong. &lt;br /&gt;I suggested in such cases when a loved one has departed &lt;br /&gt;I could understand what firsts reaction would be.&lt;br /&gt;I then recommended a different way to look at life.&lt;br /&gt;I offered, “The topic of today becomes how they will be able to mourn.”&lt;br /&gt;I asked them if prayer would do any good. &lt;br /&gt;I heard silence in the room.  &lt;br /&gt;I now understood what they were asking.  They had already given up on prayers.&lt;br /&gt;I deduced they were looking for another direction.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;strong&gt; So&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then proceeded to answer my own question and &lt;br /&gt;I replied as if talking to me, but spoke aloud just incase they were listening…&lt;br /&gt;I exclaimed this is a crazy world what good is the Lord?&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;And &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I, myself, after hearing His trash of gospel am only further convinced that&lt;br /&gt;I possess nothing left to salvage. &lt;br /&gt;I do not belong here.&lt;br /&gt;I have seen too many deaths,&lt;br /&gt;I still have questions unanswered.&lt;br /&gt;I said, “I have seen too many people die, and you few deserve the truth.”&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;In addition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told them&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to find God; I talk to Him but do not hear any solutions.&lt;br /&gt;I only hear the same revelations&lt;br /&gt;I hear no remorse for the lives He has taken &lt;br /&gt;I declared to the few, “Today is my last day for these types of conversations.”&lt;br /&gt;I thanked them for listening but reminded that&lt;br /&gt;I, no longer could have people count or lean on me.&lt;br /&gt;I have grown tired and weary of these responsibilities &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;And&lt;/strong&gt;I can no longer take them on.&lt;br /&gt;I am tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am tired of being awake when others sleep.&lt;br /&gt;I am tired of talking death when no one is brought back to life.&lt;br /&gt;I am wired except now&lt;br /&gt;I see there is no one else left to die.&lt;br /&gt;I then take my thoughts to another level:&lt;br /&gt;I have no one to take care of.&lt;br /&gt;I surmised why I am playing this game of living &lt;br /&gt;I talk but is God ever listening.&lt;br /&gt;I know that when in fantasy lasting for eternity&lt;br /&gt;I would have much more fun&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Because &lt;/strong&gt;I would find the change of scenery relieving&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;So &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally find and take my cure for sleeping.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6764698462077034139-4087667504956681976?l=doncarl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doncarl.blogspot.com/feeds/4087667504956681976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6764698462077034139&amp;postID=4087667504956681976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6764698462077034139/posts/default/4087667504956681976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6764698462077034139/posts/default/4087667504956681976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doncarl.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-am-tired-its-crazy-world.html' title='I Am Tired  Its a Crazy World'/><author><name>Donny C</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12575300010015617448</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764698462077034139.post-2178721553948758400</id><published>2009-05-05T07:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T07:18:14.629-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Love Puzzle</title><content type='html'>A Forever key Around Your Heart&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could one not know&lt;br /&gt;What was to become&lt;br /&gt;Nor see any of the signs&lt;br /&gt;Remain a mystery to me.&lt;br /&gt;How could not anyone know&lt;br /&gt;Their own mindsIs puzzling to me,&lt;br /&gt;Especially, for people likeYou and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a time before&lt;br /&gt;When I saw you&lt;br /&gt;My face lit up and glowed&lt;br /&gt;But when I didn't see you&lt;br /&gt;I missed you an awful lot.&lt;br /&gt;We had fun&lt;br /&gt;Back then&lt;br /&gt;Even without talks.&lt;br /&gt;Now though,&lt;br /&gt;Everything is falling apart,&lt;br /&gt;As we both have put&lt;br /&gt;Back up our guards&lt;br /&gt;And a forever key Around our hearts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written By Donny C Davied&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://webmail.associatedcontent.com/c.html?rtr=on&amp;amp;s=mgs,5zp7,faq,ftfu,6e0e,24vk,5ng&amp;amp;ac_url=www.associatedcontent.com%2Farticle%2F1701079%2Fa_forever_key_around_your_heart.html" target="_blank"&gt;www.associatedcontent.com/article/1701079/a_forever_key_around_your_heart.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6764698462077034139-2178721553948758400?l=doncarl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://doncarl.blogspot.com/feeds/2178721553948758400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6764698462077034139&amp;postID=2178721553948758400' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6764698462077034139/posts/default/2178721553948758400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6764698462077034139/posts/default/2178721553948758400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://doncarl.blogspot.com/2009/05/love-puzzle.html' title='A Love Puzzle'/><author><name>Donny C</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12575300010015617448</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
